Also look at the high-end "Pentium Dual Core" chips, which are actually
Core 2 Duos (and the VT features disabled, unfortunately - but if you're
not going to run VMWare it doesn't matter).  

My gaming box is built around an E5200, Intel DG31PR motherboard, eVGA
GeForce 9500GT video card, and 4G of RAM (IIRC G.Skill because it was cheap
and well-rated).
